Dancing in the Moonlight

	  		 
This song is played in dropped-D tuning, with a capo at the first fret.   
A 302  in the tab is really a 1 because the capo is holding down all  
strings at the first fret.  All other numbers are the actual numbers  
fretted.    
 
Intro:   I9ll call this rythym figure 1.  It9s played throughout the song  
with slight variations and ad libs.  Just listen to the record.  The  
chord forms are the ones you would use for Em7,  D something,  Cadd9, and  
G/B in standard tuning, first position.  The numbers just look strange  
cuz of the capo--well, you know what I mean...

LETRA 
 
When I passed you in the doorway 
You took me with a glance 
Should have took that last bus home 
But I asked you for a dance 
Now we were steady to the pictures  
I always get chocolate stains on my pants 
Father says he's going crazy 
Says I'm livin' in a trance 
Dancing in the moonlight 
It's caught me in it's spotlight,  
It's alright, it's alright, the moonlight  
This long, hot summer night 
It's three o'clock in the morning, I'm on the streets again  
Disobeyed another warning, Shoulda been home by ten 
Now I stay out 'till Sunday, I have to say I stayed with friends 
It's a habit worth forming, It's a means to justify the end 
Dancing in the moonlight 
It's caught me in it's spotlight,  
It's alright, it's alright, the moonlight  
This long, hot summer night 
I'm walking home 
Last bus is long gone
